Thanks for heads up! For someone 6'1" 230lbs who wants a ski for light touring that also does well in tracks, would you suggest 215cm Janoy 60-50-55 or 210cm Madshus 57-50-55 or something else entirely?

Most wood skis are not very stiff cambered, so I would probably go with the 215's. I am 6' 190#, and normally ski 210. I do have 1 set of woodies that are 205 and really don't notice any difference.

Greg is the wood nordic ski guru in the u.s. He gives an accurate description of his skis. I would reach out to him concerning sizing of skis.
